Hey Guys,<br>
I'm glad to see some solid content that could be discussed. At the last
statewide seminar, we mostly just had people ask questions about us,
which didn't go over very well. The fact that we are coming up with
different activities and topics for presentation makes this whole thing
seem more feasible to me. This might be the first step towards bringing
more life into the division again. As far as transportation goes, as
the only sighted member of NMABS and as Tara's husband, I will surely
be involved in transport from Costco and stuff like that, although
it'll be another matter when it comes to transportation to and from the
seminar.<br>

<div>Hi all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As far As far as I know, Pizza Hut is still offering any size of
pizza for $10. Also, having 2 rooms sounds like a very good plan. I
agree that we should keep the breaks during this seminar to a minimum. </div>

<div>Hey Tara, </div>
<div>How about two rooms. More than that and you might have people
just wandering the halls and not really involved on one particular
seminar. I can't think of the particular pizza place right now, but
there is one doing any pizza for ten dollars. That will help keep
expenses low and more choices for students. As far as having breaks,
you want to be careful doing that. Any break over five minutes and we
might lose interest and again have wanderers. </div>
<div>Perhaps someone from the commission tech services can come and
give a talk about new technology, along with some samples that students
can see during the break and/or at a later point in the seminar. </div>
<div>Presidents from the different areas: Alamogordo, Los Cruces,
Albuquerque East Side, Albuquerque West Side and others can possibly
give updates on what their specific divisions are doing this year.
This will also show students that we as NMABS are advocating for the
entire state, not just Albuquerque. </div>
<div>As for activities, how about talking about our upcoming
goalball team and what we need to do to continue moving forward with
that project. Many are interested but we still have a lot to do to
make it happen.</div>
<div>When to have the registration forms returned by-I would think
a week (November 5) would be reasonable. Is there a charge for
registration? </div>
<div>They can send it back to me if you would like me to be in
charge of that. </div>
<div>I am willing to be the contact for this event. </div>
<div>Can Christine come and explain the different job positions for
each board/officer position? If so, that would be fabulous. </div>
<div>Perhabs we can have Cheryl come and talk about the history of
NMABS. Since she is the one that signed our original documentation
into the National Federation of the Blind. Speaking of history, why
not have Art, Christine or Tonia talk about the history of the NFB?
Many of us don't know how it started originally. We should know the
base of what we have our division on. </div>
<div>Anyway, those are just a few thoughts I had for contributing
to the seminar.</div>

have our debit card.</p>
